ARKEMA

Since classic PPA resins are known for their inherent brittleness limiting their use to rigid or injection-molded parts, Arkema has developed the Rilsan® HT series specifically to fill this gap. Due to its specific polymer matrix, which is based largely on long-chain chemistry, the Rilsan® HT range stands out above all by a flexibility previously unknown in this material group. This revolutionary flexibility of Rilsan® HT grades offer a step-change in PPA-based materials and makes it the first range of flexible PPA extending metal substitution to new applications like severe engine-compartment service or other demanding industrial uses... Rilsan® HT - The first flexible polyphthalamide (PPA)-based material range to replace metal in tubing for high temperature automotive and other demanding industrial applications. This entirely new class of flexible, partially bio-based polyphtalamide
